STEUBENVILLE, Ohio (AP) — The man who shot a judge outside a county courthouse before being gunned down by a probation officer was the father of a Steubenville High School football player who was convicted of rape in 2013, authorities said Monday.
Jefferson County Judge Joseph Bruzzese Jr. was shot at around 8 a.m. near the courthouse in Steubenville, just across the Ohio River from West Virginia’s northern panhandle, roughly 30 miles (48 kilometers) west of Pittsburgh.
Authorities identified the gunman as Nathaniel “Nate” Richmond, the father of Ma’Lik Richmond. Ma’Lik served about 10 months in a juvenile lockup after being convicted with another Steubenville High School football player of raping a 16-year-old girl during an alcohol-fueled party in 2012.
The case brought international attention to the eastern Ohio city of 18,000 and led to allegations of a cover-up to protect the football team.
Investigators are still looking for a motive and haven’t found a connection to the rape case, said Jefferson County Prosecutor Jane Hanlin.

I agree this shows a professional law enforcement officer doing his job. This could happen to anyone of us.

You forgot one thing. In the state of Ohio the Probation Officers attend a LEO academy. In Florida, you attend a Correctional Probation Officers academy. Big difference. BTW, there are about 12 other states were the Probation Officer has to be LEO certified. And guess what, Florida is not one of them. Again, stop trying to be something that you are not. Real LEO's do not go home when a storm approaches. Real LEO's all train and carry firearms. In Florida, you are more like a social worker. Nice try though.....😥
